China's Espionage Activities in UK Government Exposed

A parliamentary researcher in the UK, who was arrested under the Official Secrets Act on accusations of spying for China, has denied the reports and claimed innocence. The arrest comes as UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces pressure to confront Chinese threats to British democracy. Sunak has raised concerns about potential Chinese spying on parliament during a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang at a G-20 summit. The accusations of spying complicate Sunak's efforts to have open dialogue with China, as the Chinese embassy in the UK called the reports "malicious slander." Critics doubt the usefulness of talks with China, with one lawmaker describing it as a "pathetic monologue."
